I am therefore to conclude, that your Sufferings are at an end; and that one part of my Poem has not been more an History of your destruction, than the other a Prophecy of your restoration. The accomplishment of which happiness, as it is the wish of all true English-men, so is by none more passionately desired than by
The greatest of Your Admirers
And most humble of Your Servants,
John Dryden.
